After the break is almoast done.
Joanne come back to class pretty early. Plus all of my friends are going to the toilet and haven't come back yet, so there is only me and her in the class.
She come to her spot preparing her books for the next class. I do really want to have a chat with her so I came up with an idea.
"Hey" I called her.
She looked at me with those sharp brown eyes. In that moment I suddenly forgot what i want to say to her.
"Uh, ah, what is your name?" I asked. Stupid! She just introduced herself several sections ago, in that moment I cursed myself.
"I assume that I already give my name, but I will repeat it once more, my name is Joanne Clare and you can call me Joanne" She said coldly. Then she turn back and face her book.
Great! Now I lost my chance to talk with her, so I just waiting Kaleb and others to come in. The moment they came in, the bell rang.
"Hey, how you doin'? Why your face like that?" Kaleb says.
"Nothing, I thought that I forgot something" I said.
Then I suddenly notice something. Rick Hart, one of my friend that usualy have his hair bright yellow, with black eyes, short and wear glasses. Suddenly he has red hair with blue eyes and without any glasses.
"Did you use softlens? And when did you dye your hair?" I asked.
"What? I look like this since morning, how come you didn't notice me?!" Rick said
"Well? Maybe because you are to short" I reply.
Then Rick become mad but I heard a giggle and I bet it is from Joanne.
"Yes? Something wrong Joanne?" I asked her.
She didn't say anything and she act like that she didn't hear it but her giggle stop.
Well, I know it's to good to be true for her to like me too. Then the classes started so I and my other friend prepare our book for next lesson.
Our next class was math, it was taught by ms. Cole, she was a young women which prefer to taught us by the "learn by playing" technique. Regardless any way of teaching or the teacher I like math I mean how come people prefer physics, chemistry or other lesson more than math?
My point was, math was more easier than those lessons because you only need to use your logic than count several numbers and Boom! You got the answer.
So back to the class. In the class our teacher just review last week lessons about logarithm. I know I'm not that smart but I do think this one was fun and easy but the others doesn't think so.
I want to see how smart Joanne is, she was quite passive in the class, she didn't asked any question to the teacher. I dont know whether she is that smart to understand or to shy to ask since she was new to this school. Then the teacher give us exercise to do, in her class when we given an exercise to do. We can discuss it with our friend, and Kaleb was discussing it with Rick and Jojo, Jojo Chuck is my newest best friend in school. He is Indonesian, with black hair and black eyes, his skin was brown. But he moved to Boston since 10 years ago. Then they weren't notice me so I try to acted cool and asked Joanne
"Hey, need some help?" I asked.
She didn't immediately answer me, after several seconds she writing she says shortly "No thanks". Then he focused on her exercise again.
Phew, no luck for me. Now I know she is smart, since she was writing it non-stop. What a perfect girl, I wonder how I make friend with her.
Then suddenly my "gang" called me and asking me to help over. Ofcourse I help them, I mean I'm a generous person.
An hour pass and the lesson is already done. We move to our subject and it is Chemistry, the lesson that I hate the most.
The teacher who taught us were mr. John. He is the most boring teacher I ever seen, he always put a message that says "Chemistry = chem-is-try" in every test paper he give to us. But many says that he is a thoughtful teacher. He is kind and other.
Then in the middle of his lessons he asked me randomly out of the blue. "Jake, what is the name for H2O?", I was not ready and I said "silver?". Then everybody start laughing including my friends and Joanne. Then mr. Paul says "you are wrong Jack learn more about periodic table" then the other start laughing again.
Than in that moment I start thinking again, "how will my friend thinks?" , "what will Joanne think about me?" , "Will she call me stupid?". Then other thoughts.
I felt dreadful until the end of the lessons. Then we move to English lesson, the last subject before lunch. I felt relive because of that.
We study like usual nothing special then it is lunch time.
"We will go to the canteen to buy lunch first okay?" Rick says.
"Okay" I say shortly.
In the class there is only me and Joanne AGAIN, I just eating my lunch and she didnt eat anything and she only read a book.
"Are you not going to have lunch?" I asked her.
"No" she reply shortly.
"Why?" I asked back.
"Im having a diet" she said.
"Oh, okay" I reply. Then im out of topic then suddenly she close her book than say.
"You know? You are funny enough in the chemistry class, and you seem really want know me, so, what is your name?" She said.
"Jake, Jake Cravy that is my name and you can call me Jake" I say with a smile.
She smile and then she reply "nice to meet you".
With that only simple moment I was very happy and give me an extra boost of mood and energy until the end of the school.
